Many thanks Saroj ji.

I do not think it is Cordia dichotoma. 

We will wait for comments.

Celastrus paniculatus Willd. ??

Thank you.

Many many thanks Saroj ji.

It is a very strong possibility, but I am not certain. If it is C. paniculatus, it has likely just scrambled up the neighbouring large tree seen in the first photo, as evidenced by the inflorescences and buds.

I am going to post the observation of the neighbouring tree after finishing this response.

Regards.
